911 Center Adds Time-Saving Program:

The Steuben County Public Safety and Corrections Committee approved Monday the addition of a time-saving program to the county 911 Center. The Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP) will send information from automated alarms, such as ADT and Doyle, directly to the 911 computer system for immediate dispatch, according to county 911 Deputy Director Tina Goodwin. In the past, Steuben’s 911 dispatchers have fielded calls from alarm monitoring stations and automated alarms installed across the county including, medical, fire, and police emergencies from personal devices, schools, and businesses. The dispatchers then contact emergency responders to report the alarm has been triggered. This new system will reduce significantly the number of calls the center handles annually, Goodwin said.
